Abstract
In this manuscript, we investigate some convergence and stability results for reckoning fixed points using a faster iterative scheme in a Banach space. Also, weak and strong convergence are discussed for close contraction mappings in a Banach space and for Suzuki generalized nonexpansive mapping in a uniformly convex Banach space. Our method opens the door to many expansions in the problems of monotone variational inequalities, image restoration, convex optimization, and split convex feasibility. Moreover, some experimental examples were conducted to gauge the usefulness and efficiency of the technique compared with the iterative methods in the literature. Finally, the proposed approach is applied to solve the nonlinear Volterra integral equation with a delay.

1. Introduction
Many problems in mathematics and other fields of science may be modeled into an equation with a suitable operator. Therefore, it is self-evident that the existence of a solution to such issues is equivalent to finding the fixed points (FPs) of the aforementioned operators.
FP techniques are applied in many solid applications due to their ease and smoothness; these include optimization theory, approximation theory, fractional derivatives, dynamic theory, and game theory. This is the reason why researchers are attracted to this technique. Also, this technique plays a significant role not only in the above applications, but also in nonlinear analysis and many other engineering sciences. One of the important trends in FP methods is the study of the behavior and performance of algorithms that contribute greatly to real-world applications; see [1,2,3,4,5,6] for more details.
Throughout this paper, we assume that is a Banach space (BS); is a nonempty, closed, and convex subset (CCS) of an ; ; and is the set of natural numbers. Further, ⇀ and ⟶ stand for weak and strong convergence, respectively.
Suppose that refers to the class of all FPs of the operator , which is described as an element such that an equation is true.
In [7], a new class of contractive mappings was introduced by Berinde as follows:
where , and The mapping ℑ is called an almost contraction mapping (ACM, for short).
The same author showed that the contractive condition (1) is more general than the contractive condition of Zamfirescu in [8].
In 2003, the ACM (1) was generalized by Imoru and Olantiwo [9] by replacing the constant with a strictly increasing continuous function so that as follows:
where and ℑ here is called a contractive-like mapping. Clearly, (2) generalizes the mapping classes taken into account by Berinde [7] and Osilike et al. [10].
Many authors tended to create many iterative methods for approximating FPs in terms of improving the performance and convergence behavior of algorithms for nonexpansive mappings. Over the past 20 years, a wide range of iterative techniques have been created and researched in order to approximate the FPs of various kinds of operators.
In the literature, the following are some common iterative techniques: Mann [11], Ishikawa [12], Noor [13], Argawal et al. [14], Abbas and Nazir [15], and HR [16,17].
Let and be sequences in Consider the following iterations:
The above procedures are known as the S algorithm [14], Picard-S algorithm [18], Thakur algorithm [19], and algorithm [20], respectively.
For contractive-like mappings, it is verified that technique (6) converges more quickly than both Karakaya et al. [21], (3)–(5) analytically and numerically.
On the other hand, nonlinear integral equations (NIEs) are used to describe mathematical models arising from mathematical physics, engineering, economics, biology, etc. [22]. In particular, spatial and temporal epidemic modeling challenges and boundary value problems lead to NIEs. Many academics have recently turned to iterative approaches to solve NIEs; for examples, see [23,24,25,26,27].
The choice of one iterative method over another is influenced by a few key elements, including speed, stability, and dependence. In recent years, academics have become increasingly interested in iterative algorithms with FPs that depend on data; for further information, see [28,29,30,31].
Inspired by the above work, in this paper, we develop a new faster iterative scheme as follows:
where and are sequences in
The rest of the paper is arranged as follows: An analytical analysis of the performance and convergence rate of our approaches is presented in Section 3. We observed that the convergence rate is acceptable for ACMs in a BS. Also, Section 4 covers the weak and strong convergence of the suggested technique for SGNMs in the context of uniformly convex Banach spaces (UCBSs, for short). Moreover, in Section 5, we discuss the stability results of our iterative approach. In addition, some numerical examples are involved in Section 6 to study the efficacy and effectiveness of the proposed method. Ultimately, in Section 7, the solution to a nonlinear Volterra integral problem is presented using the method under consideration.

Theorem 2.
4. Convergence Results
In this section, we obtain some convergence results for our iteration scheme (7) using SGNMs in the setting of UCBSs. We begin with the following lemmas:
Lemma 6.

- there exists a constant such thatfor all and
- for each
8. Conclusions and Open Problems
The effectiveness and success of iterative techniques are largely determined by two essential factors that are widely acknowledged. The two primary factors are the rate of convergence and the number of iterations; if convergence occurs more quickly with fewer repetitions, the method is successful in approximating the FPs. As a result, we have shown analytically and numerically in this work that, in terms of convergence speed, our method performs better than some of the most popular iterative algorithms, like the S algorithm [14], the Picard-S algorithm [18], the Thakur algorithm [19], and the algorithm [20]. Furthermore, comparison graphs of computations showed the frequency and speed of convergence and stability results. A solution to a fundamental problem served as an application that ultimately reinforced our methodology. Ultimately, we deem the following findings of this paper as potential contributions to future work:
- The variational inequality problem can be solved using our iteration (7) if we define the mapping ℑ in a Hilbert space endowed with an inner product space. This problem can be described as: find such thatwhere is a nonlinear mapping. In several disciplines, including engineering mechanics, transportation, economics, and mathematical programming, variational inequalities are a crucial and indispensable modeling tool; see [37,38] for more details.
- Our methodology can be extended to include gradient and extra-gradient projection techniques, which are crucial for locating saddle points and resolving a variety of optimization-related issues; see [39].
- We can accelerate the convergence of the proposed algorithm by adding shrinking projections and CQ terms. These methods stimulate algorithms and improve their performance to obtain strong convergence; for more details, see [40,41,42,43].
- If we consider the mapping ℑ as an inverse strongly monotone and if the inertial term is added to our algorithm, then we have the inertial proximal point algorithm. This algorithm is used in many applications, such as monotone variational inequalities, image restoration problems, convex optimization problems, and split convex feasibility problems [44,45]. For more accuracy, these problems can be expressed as mathematical models such as machine learning and the linear inverse problem.
- Second-order differential equations and fractional differential equations, which Green’s function can be used to transform into integral equations, can be solved using our approach. Therefore, it is simple to treat and resolve using the same method as in Section 7.
